The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

However, I believe that Elon is a net benefit to society

That sounds uncomfortably familiar to the trope defending Italian fascists, 'Mussolini made the trains run on time.'

Coincidentally, 'draining the swamp' was another fascist trope from the Mussolini era.

When headliners like Trump and Musk spread antisemitic tropes, or defend them under the guise of 'freedom of speech,' violence against Jews increases. Musk's a piece of shit no matter how many cars he sells or satellites he launches. Musk shares responsibility for increasing violence; the decrease of peace on earth.

I am not attacking you.

Indirectly, you may be. If you 'like' the antisemitic posts on Twitter or Truth Social, you are encouraging those who are inclined to violence. You are supporting the increase in violent antisemitism.

Keep in mind... Hitler and his SS had no compunction killing off the mischlinge officers (and their families) that supported and fought for the Nazis.
